Healthsharing magazine - NOW ONLINE!

The CWHN is very pleased to be able to provide readers for the first time with electronic versions of the back issues of Healthsharing magazine. You can peruse full issues of the magazine (see links to PDFs below) OR use the CWHN e-Library to search for specific topics and individual articles.

Healthsharing was published from 1979 to 1993 and was groundbreaking for its time, providing critical information on women’s health from a non-medical perspective, with a Canadian focus. There is a goldmine of information between the virtual covers—have a look at the Table of Contents of each issue and you will have experienced a slice of the women’s health movement in Canada during its most formative decades. Read more on the history of Healthsharing, and its key role in the development of the Canadian Women’s Health Network.

We are grateful to Katie Pellizzari, Connie Clement, Amy Gottlieb and Susan Elliott, who kept aside a small cache of funds for over 20 years in the hope that one day someone would be able to put back issues of the magazine on line. Thanks to Kim Parry, Ellen Reynolds, Madeline Boscoe, Yvette Zhou, Leonie Lafontaine and Susan White for making it happen.
